Mimi arrived on Friday! Tears of joy when she saw the boys for the first time. It was really neat to see her with them! They ahve been really comfortable and even learning more English from Mimi.
We had the FRUA (Families of Russian and Ukranian Adoption) Father Frost Party tonight. Father Frost is the Russian Santa Clause and Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. There is a pretty big group of families that are a part of FRUA in the Austin area. They said that about 500 people are members of the FRUA yahoo group in this area. wow. Maks and Fin were really quiet and shy for the party. That's to be expected. They wanted to be held most of the time and mostly Mimi and Mark held them. I was busy taking pictures ;-). Towards the end of the night, we wanted to see if they would sit on Father Frost's lap. The pictures say it all! Overall, it was neat being there and seeing all of the other kids. I'm sure the boys will be a lot more rowdier next year once they get acclimated!
Tomorrow morning... we have our family pictures outside. It's supposed to be pretty cold in the morning, so we'll see how it goes.
